Beth Holzberger Featured in PE Hub’s Women in Private Equity 2025

SWIB Senior Portfolio Manager Beth Holzberger is one of 10 allocators featured in PE Hub’s Women in Private Equity 2025. The list, featuring “women who have excelled as leaders, innovated, executed on novel strategic visions, and pushing the industry’s boundaries,” was announced on March 31.

A leader of SWIB’s private equity strategy, Holzberger joined SWIB in 2006 and rose to become a senior portfolio manager in 2023. Since Beth’s arrival, private equity has grown to become a pillar of SWIB’s strategy, increasing from approximately 5% of the agency’s asset allocation to 20% under the guidance of her and her team.

 “Private equity is so varied in just the industries and the parts of the world that you get to think about, especially if you consider the different approaches to investment, whether it’s growth or buyout or distressed; I think it’s a lens into basically every part of the economy,” Holzberger said. “That environment is what I thought would be so compelling.”
